"Everyone, look, isn't this the illegitimate child of the Ye family?" A rich young man named Tian saw the raggedly dressed Ye Moqing and couldn't help but laugh at him with a few friends around him.
"Haha, remember how majestic and boastful he was in school, but now he has fallen to this state?" Another rich young man named Pan also echoed.
"Humph, this brat is so ignorant. He thinks he can change his fate by studying. Little does he know that a person's fate is determined from birth. Some lowly people are destined to be poor, while noble people like us are destined to enjoy wealth!" The one who said this was the young master of the Lei family, who was splashing the air with his fan in triumph.
"..." Ye Moqing looked at this group of rich young men dressed in gorgeous clothes, and couldn't help but feel angry.
In terms of talent, he was well-versed in poetry and books, could recite them fluently and speak eloquently.
When it comes to hard work, he is no less than anyone else. He gets up earlier than the chickens, sleeps later than the dogs, and reads whenever he has time.
It's a pity that his background and luck are too bad. Although he comes from the local big family Ye, he is an illegitimate child, born from the affair between the master of the Ye family and a slave.
The Ye family is a prominent family and has always attached great importance to its reputation.
After this incident, he and his mother suffered a lot of disdain from the Ye family and other big families.
Although they are of the same blood, his brothers can have food and clothes provided for them, while he can only get a bite to eat by doing housework.
He lives like a servant, even worse than a servant!
His elder brother Ye Haokong is the eldest son of the Ye family. In order to add some fun to his ordinary life, he often joins other brothers to bully Ye Moqing.
Even if they were not present, these hateful brothers would send their servants to tease Ye Moqing!
Fortunately, Ye Moqing had a strong memory and remembered the content of the class while attending the class of these brothers.
When the master of the Ye family examined their homework, these useless brothers were unable to pass the test because they did not listen carefully.
Just when the master of the Ye family was disappointed, Ye Moqing seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to show off his memory.
For this reason, the master of the Ye family also let him join in the study and do his homework, and he was finally freed from the constraints of some housework.
Of course, his father had his reasons for doing this. His other brothers' academic performance was so poor that if they entered the academy in the future, they would definitely bring disgrace to the reputation of his Ye family.
It would be better to let Ye Moqing, who is good at reading, participate in the study, which might even bring some honor to his Ye family.
As expected, Ye Moqing performed very well in school and was repeatedly praised by teachers at Guangyang County School.
Unfortunately, he was also hated by the children of other noble families because of this, especially since the other party was an illegitimate child.
"How can such a lowly person be worthy of studying with us!"
"Exactly, is there no one left in your Ye family? You actually let the child born by a bitch come to school."
"Tsk, it's all because the teacher didn't teach well enough and often made us fall asleep. It's just that Ye Moqing has trouble falling asleep."
All in all, Ye Moqing often couldn't fit in, and only one little boy was willing to speak up for him.
"Why do you always bully Ye Moqing! If you have the ability, you can be as powerful as him!" The little boy put his hands on his hips and spoke up for him.
"Tsk, Peng Hanshuang, we're talking about him, not you. Why are you so nosy?" The young master of the Pan family expressed his incomprehension and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to step forward and teach the skinny little boy in front of him a lesson.
Fortunately, the young master of the Lei family stopped him and said, "Come on, we can't afford to offend the Peng family. If we offend them, our fathers combined wouldn't be enough to die."
"...Okay." The young master of the Pan family had no choice but to go out and play with the young master of the Tian family.
Young Ye Moqing was already crying, but Peng Hanshuang took out a handkerchief and wiped Ye Moqing's tears: "Don't be afraid, if they bully you next time, just come to me, my grandfather is a high-ranking official!"
"Wu...thank you..." Ye Moqing expressed his gratitude in a crying voice.
After wiping away her tears, Peng Hanshuang extended her hand. "You're welcome. Do you want to play with me? The others are so boring. They always ask me about my dad. It feels like they treat me more like my dad's friend than me."
"Well, I don't have many friends. You are my first friend." Shen Moqing held the other's cool right hand.
…
Ye Moqing couldn't help but think of the past. He never thought that after studying for so many years, he would end up with nothing.
He found a shady place to sit down and think about his future plans.
With the help of the master of the Ye family, he worked as an assistant to the Lord of Households, helping him write documents and do accounts.
Unfortunately, after the death of the Ye family's master, his eldest brother, who had always been jealous of him, drove him out.
"Hmph! You bastard, get out of here right now!" The eldest brother ordered the servants to throw him out.
Not only he himself was thrown out, but also his belongings, including the jade bracelet his mother gave him, which was broken into pieces.
That was the token of love that the master of the Ye family gave to his mother, and it was also his amulet in front of his father.
More importantly, this is the only relic his mother left him.
It’s a pity that it has been broken and can no longer be recovered.
"Ye Haokong! You have to compensate me for my mother's bracelet!" Ye Moqing could no longer control his emotions and pounced on the other party.
But he was just a mortal, how could he possibly defeat a family of warriors? Not to mention several of them?
As a result, Ye Moqing was beaten up and his clothes became torn and dirty.
"Hehe, a poor guy is a poor guy. He treats such a broken bracelet as a treasure." His sister-in-law said with disgust.
"My lady, don't worry about it. Let this bastard fend for himself. Let's go!" After Ye Haokong finished speaking, he walked into the mansion and asked the servants to close the door.
